<p>Windows' default mode of operation (in most situations) is</p>
<ul>
  <li>single-click on an item to select it (give it <i>focus</i>)</li>
  <li>double-click to activate it or execute it</li>
</ul>
<p>The <b>X Window System</b> graphical user interface, popular with 
Unix/Linux-type operating systems, uses a different approach</p>
<ul>
  <li>hover over an item to select it (give it <i>focus</i>)</li>
  <li>click once to activate it or execute it</li>
</ul>
<p>Enabling this option causes <b>Explorer++</b> to behave like an X Window 
application - in the <a href="../../pane_files/files_pane.htm">Files pane</a> 
only.&nbsp; Some users may find this more comfortable (less mouse clicks) or 
faster.</p>
